Review of Black Death

For some reason, I've long had an admittedly morbid fascination with the black death. So naturally I was thrilled that there would be a movie that took the subject head-on. When it finally came out and I saw it, I was actually angry. This is not a movie about the Black Death. This is an ax-grinding about religion that happens to take place during the black death. The sad fact is, there is so much material to be mined from that devastating tragedy, but instead they decided not to make a movie about the subject of its title. Don't waste your time. Instead, read John Hatcher's "The Black Death" or William Defoe's "Journal of The Plague Year".
